found some more uncharted dependencies. libao, KDE (all of it) XFCE, openldap. fixed libao, rather simple except some arches that don't have alsa. Bleh. Obz is fixing gconf-1 right now. (pulled in because of totem->xine-lib->flac->xmms->gnome-1.4 ) everything would be better without xmms right now.
otherwise.. evolution is clean, totem is being fixed. Wonder what to try next.
